<p><span class="user-mention" data-user-id="219696">@XAMPPRocky</span> Regarding using Reddit a platform for getting input from the community: I'll explain where I'm coming from and why I chose to host this discussion on Reddit, and then we'll hopefully be able to come up with a better solution. </p>
<p>Off the top of my head, here are some of the requirements the discussion platform has to fulfill:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p>Reach the intended audience and enable it to participate in the discussion with little effort, meaning:<br>
  A. The platform should be one that your intended audience frequents, or can be easily directed to<br>
  B. Not have a prohibitively high entry barrier for participation. In fact I'd advocate for as low entry barrier as possible<br>
  C. If the opinion you share has already been stated, require as little effort as possible to express your support</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Structure the discussion in a scalable way, meaning:<br>
  A. Provide a way for discussion participants to talk to each other and come up with new ideas in the course of it<br>
  B. Avoid requiring people to restate the same point many times if it has already been stated<br>
  C. Allow following different discussion threads easily and/or skipping certain parts that are not relevant to the aspects of the discussion that you're interested in<br>
  D. Encourage people to lay out their opinions in a concise fashion (necessary to fulfill the above points)<br>
  E. Conceal or remove posts or conversation threads that are not constructive</p>
</li>
</ol>
<p>Email completely fails 1C and 2A. Discourse, Github and Zulip fail 2C, which in turn makes 1B, 1C, 2A and 2B really hard in large discussions. Imagine <a href="https://redd.it/gidtpe">https://redd.it/gidtpe</a> linearized and sorted by date - it's a mess! Platforms like Reddit and Disqus (not to be confused with Discourse) are so much better at 2C thanks to "every reply starts a thread" system, and fulfilling 2C enables a great deal of other points in turn. There are also platforms entirely dedicated to decision-making and laying out pros and cons, but almost no-one is familiar with them so the entry barrier is quite high. </p>
<p>I can understand the reluctance to use an platform that you don't fully control and/or that is perceived as informal (e.g. Facebook) for official decisions, but for pre-RFCs Reddit seems to be the least terrible option that we currently have. So what are the requirements that Reddit does <strong>not</strong> currently meet? Once we have that written down, we'll hopefully find the crux of the disagreement and be able to figure out a better solution.</p>

<p>I feel like this is misrepresenting my actual problem. You as an individual are free to have informal discussions wherever. However when you’re posting on behalf of a group in the Rust project there are different expectations, the first and most important of which to me is that the discussion happens in a place where our Code Of Conduct is enforced, and members and contributors feel safe.</p>
<p>Reddit is not that, the reddit is responsible for the harassment of many members both in the Rust project and in the larger community, and your posts have directly contributed to that.</p>

<p>Misunderstanding, rather. To make sure I understand if fully: hypothetically, would enforcement of the Rust Code of Conduct on Reddit make it a viable platform, or are there other blockers?</p>

<p>By official do you mean self-hosted or something else? The only other platform I'm aware of that has a similar threading system is Disqus, which is not self-hosted but could probably be embedded on the official blog.</p>

<p>This is also my point, I’m not sure that it’s the language in the posts that’s the problem (though it could be slightly less sensational imo). I believe it’s inherent to Reddit’s design as a platform.</p>

<p>Well, if you mean the Actix incident, the part that people qouted as the one that upset them came from a github issue I linked on the article, and it wasn't even there when the article was written. So the only sure-fire way I see to avoid that is to never link to github issues or name the project in question at all, which is what I'm doing for the "hypothetical io_uring wrapper". But that means that if the upstream is not going to fix the issue and I never mention it, then the public is not alerted to it, which also sounds wrong.</p>

<p>I'd argue that's because Reddit is far more scalable and enables much more people to participate, while something like Discourse is simply unable to sustain a similar number of users. Rather like mice never suffering from cancer because they simply don't live long enough for it to become a problem.</p>

<p>To go back to the actual content of the advisory, I would provide more context around the vulnerabilities you list, and provide some level of guidance on the severity, without that people will assume the worst.</p>
<p>For example in the last advisory there was vulnerabilities listed for rustqlite, and one of the comments was concerned as whether they should switch to something else. You clarified that these vulnerabilities found in audit for its inclusion in Firefox. This is a clarification people aren’t going to see because it’s nested deep in a huge comment thread.</p>

<p>FWIW I find discussions on reddit really hard to follow once they become sizable. When opening a discussion I read before, reddit doesnt tell me what is new and what is old. also everything nested more than 5 levels or so is off on another page, I have to click a link to read it (or even to see if there is anything new there) so I cannot even ctrl-f the entire discussion or scan it visually. Overall this makes it basically impossible to "stay on top" of a discussion in the sense that one has a rough idea of everything being discussed.<br>
I agree that "every reply starts a thread" is nice, but overall given the other issues I dont think reddit is actually significantly better than some of the other platforms you listed.</p>

<p>FWIW I find discussions on reddit really hard to follow once they become sizable.

<p>Completely agree with this. I just had to open what seemed like 20 tabs from a single Reddit thread because of nesting, to do a ctrl-f. This is really something I feel Discourse gets right. It's really only a minor complaint though.</p>

<p>I feel like "doesnt track what you have already read and what not" is a major point. the ctrl-f one, less so.</p>

<p>I have a pretty negative view of both Reddit and Hacker News comment sections in general FWIW</p>

<p>also we don't really advertise Zulip that much which may be why it hasn't garnered a whole lot of discussion</p>

<p>as a suggestion, perhaps in the future we could do Inside Rust blog posts that mention the Zulip channel as the official discussion/feedback space</p>

<p>if people want to talk on Reddit they can talk on Reddit, it's just we wouldn't use it in any sort of official capacity</p>
